About Cheryl Assemi

My family and I have lived in the area since 2008. Purchasing, remodeling and restoring Sky Way Cottage was a labor of love which took most of 2012 to complete and something we strive to maintain. We wanted it to look the way, we felt, it always should have.

Cheryl Assemi purchased this cottage in 2011

Why Cheryl Assemi chose Carmel

For us, it was love at first sight. Sky Way Cottage and our other 4 listings (Log Haven 937413, Tradewinds 938557, Home Port 938549 and Moon Gate 938556) reside on one property, collectively called the Carmel Cottage Inn. The cottages are full time vacation rentals with hotel status, which allows us to rent by the night. The gardens and patios are designed to give each cottage a feeling of privacy. The proximity of our cottages, patios and gardens to each other, as well as to the beach and downtown Carmel, make them equally ideal for a single cottage rental or for larger groups, family reunions, etc. To keep the houses fresh for longer visits, we arrange for periodic light housekeeping for stays of 3 nights or longer.

What makes this cottage unique

Built in the 1940's, Sky Way Cottage is a charming studio flat with it's own balcony patio. Discover all of the beautiful flowers in the gardens behind it or relax in the living room at the end of an eventful day. Listen to the sound of the waves in the distance and enjoy a peek of the ocean from the window seat in the living room.

Sweltering but Charming

Heat advisory in Carmel but our stay was great. Great location, charming accommodations and nice goodie bag upon arrival. A couple more strong fans would have been great but we understand how unusual the circumstances were.

Perfect property

We had a wonderful two nights at Sky Way in Carmel. On a past trip we noticed the cottages and jotted them down for future reference. So glad we did! Sky Way is really perfect. The location can't be beat - - one block up from the beach, in a beautiful neighborhood with lovely homes and cottages. Perfect for walking. Also a few blocks down from the main village of Carmel. The cottage was very charming with a comfy couch, chairs, lights in the living area - - good TV. Kitchen had small refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee pot - - all the dishes and extras you would need - and a nice table. The bedroom was very cozy and comfortable. Great storage, great reading lights (which are important to us) and a very nice bathroom with tub/shower. It was a bit cool so we didn't have a chance to lounge out on the deck, but will do that next time - - and there will be a next time.

Perfect for our stay

We visited in early June and loved this place. I'm not sure there's any better combination of location, price and quality than Cheryl's set of properties in Carmel. The Sky Way was just right for two and such a short walk to the ocean. Not only is the unit itself completely charming, it overlooks a lovely garden that ties together the different units that comprise the Inn. It is an uphill climb into town, but if that's a challenge, guests could always just drive up. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

Cabin by the Sea

We had a wonderful time at Log Haven. We planned on staying at Skyway cottage but Cheryl upgraded us due to some tree removal work so we stayed at Log Haven. Beautiful house in gorgeous surroundings. Cheryl is a welcoming host and very gracious. Hope to be back someday.

Owner's Response: Hi Laurie,
I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay.
This is certainly an interesting review for Sky Way endorsing one of our other cottages! Thank you also for staying in Log Haven which allowed us to complete tree trimming.
Best regards,
Cheryl

Peaceful Retreat After The Busy Holidays

We spent a few days in Skyway Cottage just after Christmas to visit Carmel beach and Carmel-By-The-Sea. Cheryl has done a wonderful job of providing everything you need plus the little extras. Comfortable bed, cozy environment, complimentary welcome bag of snacks and sparkling cider. The house is easily accessed from the interstate and close to the shopping center and just a block from the beach. Great location! The only negative issue we had was it was a little cold at night/early morning. (but it is December) We definitely would recommend the Skyway cottage to family and friends and would stay here again. Thank You Cheryl! :)
